20 “But jwhen you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that kits desolation has come near.21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it,22 for these are ldays of mvengeance, to fulfill nall that is written.23 oAlas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and pwrath against this people.24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and qbe led captive among all nations, and rJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, suntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The Coming of the Son of Man

25 “And tthere will be signs in sun and moon uand stars, and on the earth vdistress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For wthe powers of the heavens will be shaken.27 And then they will see xthe Son of Man coming in a cloud ywith power and great glory.28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and zraise your heads, because ayour redemption is drawing near.”
